This is a conservative thread to allow those with conservative views to express themselves. We welcome Republicans, Tea Party folks, and those who believe in the Constitution as written, not as interpreted by liberal judges. If you have liberal views we invite you to participate in a civil and respectful conversation. We would respectfully request that if you cannot post in a respectful and civil manner to refrain from doing so until you can. Good discussions are great - insulting arguments are not. We welcome discussions about our weight loss journey.

I have been away for the past week enjoying the beach along he Northern California coast. The weather was wonderful cold at night and mornings and evenings were also cool. Afternoons were about 80. We had a beautiful view of the coast for miles and I love watching the waves roll in Now I have to settle down and get back to normal. I did not read any news papers or listen to the news all week and I didn't miss it one bit. I just relaxed. When I got home Sunday evening it was 100 + here it was 60 when we left the coast.

Gary, I am bringing your post over to July as I see you posted on last months thread.
It was really amazing. I hadn't been on campus for years. I had no idea where anything was. I parked at random and walked up to the nearest building. It was locked, so I went around the corner and walked into the next building. Totally at random, it turned out to be the Student Services building, exactly where I needed to be! The first person I ran into was the wife of my former bishop. She directed me to the desk where I needed to sign up for the Wellness Center. While I was there lo and behold my sister Karen came out of her office and showed me where my other sister, Gayrene, works. Then she took me over to the Wellness Center so I would know where to go. On the way I saw several people I know from church and Walmart. I love this community! God directed my path to be where I needed to be!
Also went to the local Social Security office to sign up for Medicare part B. There was only one person ahead of me! Life is beautiful in a smaller community!
Yes, mad Max has been making a name for herself but she is so looney Trump practically begged the democrats to keep pushing her forward so everybody can see just how looney the democrats |

More good news. Just received my retiree Walmart discount card! Kind of surprised since I was fired, but it came in the mail today just in time for my weekly shopping.
The democrats are unravelling before our eyes. They are taking a hard turn to the left and leaving a lot of them behind to "walk away". The party of JFK is no more. I can hardly wait to see who Trump nominates for the Supreme Court. No matter who it is the democrats will make fools of themselves trying to discredit whoever it is. The move to abolish ICE is just one example of how unhinged they have become.

Gary, congrats on getting a walmart discount card!
Looks like each of the 4 final candidates for the supreme court.(they say Trump is down to 4) are decent. From what I am seeing , I think I prefer one. Justice Amy Coney Barrett-she is a woman of strong faith and I think would serve our nation well.
Now if you are STUPID enough to try to climb the Statue of Liberty, you ought to reimburse everyone of the several thousand folks who did not get to see the statue because of your childish prank.And if you are stupid enough to try that prank, then you ought to be smart enough to find your way down. And should you become hurt in the process, too bad cause you were stupid enough to try to climb the statue.

Gary, that was nice of Wal Mart to give you a discount card . I don't think Wal Mart fired you they sent you off to enjoy your retirement years.
I agree that the democrat party is certainly not the party it used to be. They are a bunch of fanatics who only have ONE WORD No, No, No. I am sure we will hear them loud and clear when President Trump announces his choice for the Supreme Court next week.
I also like Justice Amy Coney Barrett, I think she would make an excellent judge on the Supreme Court. It will But I do not have much information about the other candidates or whatever you call them. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
That woman who climbed the Statue of Liberty should be locked up somewhere. She endangered the officers who had to rescue her not to mention spoiling the day for many holiday makers. She is an idiot or as they would say in Ireland ijit. |

The woman who climbed the statue of liberty should have been left up there to make her own way down, dead or alive. They should not have evacuated the monument, just cordoned it off so she wouldn't hurt anyone if she fell off. She is a radical activist who has had run ins with the law before and should be deported back to the Congo to swing with the monkeys.
I am into a new routine, sort of. I get to the wellness center at the college around 8 or so in the morning and exercise for a couple hours. Then I have been coming home and trying to sort out my Medicare options, house cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. I have a lot of organizing to do and am being a bit lazy about it. Since I have my discount card maybe I won't boycott Walmart after all. I have narrowed my Part D choices I think to the Humana Walmart Rx plan where my copays will only be about $4 per prescription. At the moment I only have 2 prescriptions. I am leaning toward Mutual of Omaha for my Part B supplement, mainly because both my parents were on it and my sister's husband is on it and seem happy with it, and besides the options offered in this area are limited. I'm still waiting for my Original Medicare Part B card.
I can hardly wait for the Supreme Court announcement and get that battle over with. Whoever Trump chooses will be outstanding.

Elliana, Welcome to our board. I hope you will join us often.
You all know that the Democrats will yap and whine and drag this out for as long as they can get away with it. No matter who President Trump nominates they will they will be crying their favorite word NO, NO, NO.
I will think positive thoughts. |

Gary, I have had the Humana walmart preferred part D for several years and have been very happy with it. The part I like most is the mail order ability. Lines are long even at this walmart in my small town so being able to order online and receive the meds in the mail is really a benefit.It's also a benefit when the weather is bad. A couple times I had problems with the order not going thru online so I just called and ordered on the phone and they also have a automated service the time they are closed. The bad part is when you are sick and have a prescription that you need to fill immediately then you have to have the doctor do it to your local walmart then go and stand in line forever. I hate Walmart's actual pharmacy.Still the plan is good. I've had Mutual of Omaha for my supplement but like all the others they raise their rates every year so I finally changed to an Advantage plan thru the one that AARP supports (can't remember the name right now...senior moment)but I didn't get it thru AARP. I have nothing to do with them because of their liberal ideas that they push. Choices are pretty limited in my state. Each state has different ones available. Several years ago I had an advantage plan thru Humana and I really liked that one but it became unavailable here. That was back in 2013 and at that time the plan was to discontinue all advantage plans in 2014. I don't know what happened but that didn't occurr after all. Humana had no monthy payment and included gym membership. My current one has a monthy premium but it's low but it doesn't include gym membership which is ok because I really didn't take advantage of it when I had Humana
